Transverse myelitis in systemic lupus erythematosus--the effect of IV pulse methylprednisolone and cyclophosphamide.

Transverse myelitis is a rare but serious complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Standard treatment with medium to high doses of oral prednisone has been inadequate to control neurologic sequelae, and patients remain confined to a wheel chair or even die. We employed aggressive treatment in 7 patients with transverse myelitis complicating SLE with pulse methylprednisolone for acute episodes followed by pulse cyclophosphamide for a mean of 6 months; most of our patients are currently able to walk and have partial or total sphincter control.

Apophyseolysis and osteochondrosis of the ischial tuberosity. Criteria of differential diagnosis.

The authors describe three pathological entities affecting the apophysis of the ischial tuberosity observed in young athletes. Acute and chronic apophyseolysis and osteochondrosis are studied separately in terms of their clinical characteristics, radiographic aspects, and treatment. A rare case of bilateral apophyseolysis is also reported. Unless correctly diagnosed and treated, these lesions may in the long term affect the sporting activity of the patient. Six cases are presented illustrating each of these syndromes.
